Zombie Life Begins in Hongxi Village

Lin Yizheng closed his eyes to rest.

Suddenly, he opened his eyes upon hearing the noise, his gaze sweeping past Ma Dayong and landing on Chu Renmei behind him.

The blue theatrical costume, the long, flowing hair, the pale face and the black lips—it was Chu Renmei.

He never expected to encounter this famous "Aunt Mei" as soon as he arrived in Hong Kong.

Then he began to scrutinize the beautiful woman from Chu—

Hmm, not bad, you've even managed to create your own ghost realm... wait? You've enslaved dozens of evil spirits in your ghost realm.

As expected of Aunt Mei!

She is definitely a special genius who is no less than Qin Bu, a forbidden ghost king!

If used properly, she alone could be worth an army.

More importantly, she has only killed 44 people who had a grudge against her so far, which is still within the scope of revenge. She does not have much sin value and has not completely fallen into depravity.

The laws of the underworld differ from those of the mortal world; they emphasize repaying grievances and settling scores.

If a ghost kills simply out of revenge, the underworld generally won't interfere; instead, it will punish the person who committed the evil act and was the one being targeted for revenge.

Only indiscriminate killing of innocent people that goes beyond the scope of revenge can sin be committed.

This is why many vengeful ghosts do not face interference from underworld officials when seeking revenge in the mortal realm.

Upon seeing Chu Renmei, such an extreme evil spirit, Lin Yi immediately felt the urge to recruit her.

Lin Yi's Hades mark flashed between his eyebrows, and the powerful pressure caused Chu Renmei to be struck as if by lightning, and she knelt down with a thud.

"Chu Renmei, this is His Majesty the King of the Underworld. Why don't you pay your respects?"

Seeing that Chu Renmei looked at a loss, Ma Dayong quickly reminded her.

"This humble woman, Chu Renmei, pays her respects to the King of the Underworld," Chu Renmei said nervously, realizing what was happening.

"Your Majesty, I just found out."

Ma Dayong recounted to Lin Yi how Bu Wantian had deceived and framed Chu Renmei, and how she had retaliated by killing him.

Of course, there is a clear bias towards the beauty of the Chu people.

Why is this guy so eager? Could it be that he's taken a fancy to Chu Renmei?

That kid's awesome!

Lin Yi admitted that Chu Renmei was a genius, but her appearance was really not flattering. It seems that Ma Dayong had been in the army for a long time and was really hungry.

Lin Yi looked at Ma Dayong strangely until he felt a little embarrassed before she stopped.

"The people of Chu are beautiful," Lin Yi said, her tone unhurried and carrying the unique majesty of the King of the Underworld.

Chu Renmei trembled and crawled even lower.

"Although you killed forty-four people, they were all your enemies who killed you directly or indirectly. The law of the underworld says that you should repay your hatred and your grievances. Your revenge has not exceeded the scope permitted by the law."

"I will not punish you for this. However—"

His tone shifted, "You enslaved ghosts and devoured Bu Wantian's soul..."

This is not just revenge; it's the misappropriation of a dead soul, punishable by being boiled in oil according to the laws of the underworld.

Chu Renmei trembled with fear at the words "torture in the oil pot".

The harm of a ghost being thrown into a cauldron of boiling oil is far worse than that of a living person. Not only is the pain magnified a thousand or ten thousand times, but one wrong move can cause the soul to be scattered.

Ma Dayong panicked and quickly stepped forward to block Chu Renmei, kneeling on one knee to plead for her life:

"Your Majesty, Bu Wantian deserved his punishment! He deceived us first and then framed us. Chu Renmei's act of devouring his soul was merely an act of extreme hatred, and it is understandable, Your Majesty!"

As for enslaving ghosts, that's even easier to handle. Just make her release them immediately. What do you think?"

Chu Renmei knelt on the ground, listening to every word Ma Dayong pleaded for her, and her defenses completely crumbled.

She has never met anyone in her life who truly treats her well.

And this man, even after she had taken this human form, was still willing to hold her hand and plead for her before Hades.

Lin smiled like an aunt, thinking that it wouldn't be bad if they could become a couple.

After all, it's a contract with a zombie apocalypse; how can it function without love?

Lin Yi, seeing Ma Dayong's anxious protectiveness of Chu Renmei, cleared her throat and said:

"Since Horse-Face has pleaded for you, I will spare your life for his sake."

However, to atone for your sins, you will henceforth serve as a soul-collecting deputy under Horse-Face, and diligently serve the underworld.

After he finished speaking, a faint blue talisman appeared at his fingertips and he struck it towards the Chu woman's brow.

The moment the divine talisman entered her body, the surging resentment around Chu Renmei seemed to be held down by an invisible hand, slowly receding into her body.

Her soul became more solidified under the transformation of the divine talisman.

A pale blue, soul-capturing divine seal appeared between his brows.

The aura surrounding him was no longer purely resentful and venomous, but had gained a layer of solemnity unique to ghosts and spirits.

With the divine talisman, she would no longer be easily controlled by resentment. Moreover, although she was only Ma Dayong's deputy, she was stronger than him in terms of strength.

"Thank you, King of the Underworld." Chu Renmei bowed to Lin Yi several times.

Ma Dayong watched with wide eyes.

Chu Renmei was already beautiful, and now with the blessing of the divine talisman, her resentment subsided, giving her a more aloof and otherworldly charm that made him itch with desire.

Meanwhile, Wang Daniu looked at the two of them with envy and jealousy, thinking that he should also find someone who cared about him.

Lin Yi was in high spirits after gaining another talented person, and used the Wooden Pole Technique to build a spacious wooden house on the edge of the forest.

He then took out a large amount of food from his Qiankun Ring and placed it on the wooden table. He also summoned a group of core members, including Shi Jian, Uncle Jiu, Maoshan Jian, Master Qian, and Master Xu, from the Underworld.

Although he did not formally take over Hong Kong Island, he did not have the incense offerings or vows to cook food for ghosts and spirits.

But even ghosts and spirits can satisfy their appetites by absorbing the scent of earthly food.

Food that has been consumed by ghosts and spirits becomes tasteless, so the living are on one table and the ghosts and spirits on another, each eating their own food.

Uncle Nine cut out a circle from paper and tossed it into the air. Instantly, the paper circle, like a bright moon, emitted a clear light, illuminating the entire grove as if it were daytime.

He sat at the table for ghosts and spirits and glanced at Michelin at the table for the living.

Looking at her slightly protruding belly, and at her happy, smiling face as she leaned against Lin Yi, a faint, complex smile appeared on his lips.

There was a hint of bitterness in that smile, but more than anything, it was a sense of relief.

If she's doing well, he can finally let go completely. He picked up his wine glass, about to inhale the fumes, but Partridge beside him snatched it away.

Partridge, dressed in the attire of a female judge, with a hint of jealousy on her face, gave Uncle Nine a hard pinch on the lower back and said in a low voice:

"What are you looking at? She's the Queen of the Underworld now, and you're still clinging to old feelings?"

Uncle Jiu gasped as she twisted him, then awkwardly lowered his head to eat.

Yes, Partridge was also recruited by him, and the two became a couple, just like in the movie.

If they had no feelings for each other, Uncle Nine in the original series would never have accepted Michelin, even if it was just to save her.

Uncle Nine also specifically explained to Lin Yi and Michelle the matter of inviting the spirit baby back then.

……

A group of ghosts and gods toasted Lin Yi one by one, and Lin Yi, in a great mood, accepted all the toasts.

The wandering ghosts and spirits within a radius of several miles were so frightened by the aura of the ghosts and spirits here that they moved away with their families, and even the resentment in the sky above Huangshan Village was completely washed away.
